What You Need to Know about Eyelid Surgery

With time, your skin and facial muscles lose their tone and fatty deposits accumulate. You don’t want that. Thankfully, there’s something you can do to prevent this from happening.

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a well-known procedure used to repair drooping eyelids in patients throughout Dubai. At Euromed Clinic Doctors, we’re proud to offer this life-changing surgery that allows our male and female patients to look younger and feel more confident.

Why do your eyes show your age?

It’s not your imagination — your eyes do show your age. That youthful sparkle doesn’t last forever. As you age, your skin loses its elasticity, becoming more and more likely to sag and wrinkle. Because there are so many active muscles around your eyes, the skin surrounding them is one of the first places to show visible signs of aging.

The skin on your eyelids can be affected by loose skin due to aging, just like the soft tissue on other areas of your body. As you age, fat stored underneath the thin layer of skin on your eyelids can bulge outward and cause visible folds which are noticeable as pouches beneath your eyes. Loose sagging skin on the upper lids can also cause you to have an excess amount of skin drooping over your eyeballs.

What can eyelid surgery do? 

Eyelid surgery has a long history as an effective procedure. In fact, eyelid surgery is still one of our most popular services today. Most people get eyelid surgery for aesthetic reasons, but for some patients, it’s medically necessary to clear a full field of vision. Further, this surgical procedure can treat certain conditions that cause the eye to misalign itself and interfere with functionality, like blepharoptosis and ptosis.

There are many ways to approach treatment of the upper and lower eyelids. We can operate on both of your eyelids. The lower eyelid (mainly done for cosmetic reasons) or the upper eyelid (a procedure that’s also known as an “eye lift”).

What happens during the procedure? 

Upper and lower blepharoplasty may be performed in the office under local anesthesia. There is no need for an overnight stay in a hospital. Local anesthesia allows you to leave the office as soon as possible with little downtime after surgery.

During your eyelid lift surgery, our surgeon makes a small incision on the inside or outside of your upper or lower eyelids. He then removes any excess skin or fat deposits. The surgeon positions the excess skin and repositions it to give your eyelids a smoother, more youthful appearance.

What are the results? 

The vast majority of people who have had a blepharoplasty are fully satisfied with their results. This indicates that the procedure improves a patient’s quality of life in a variety of ways – both physical and emotional. Not only can blepharoplasty help you achieve immediate results such as a more youthful appearance, but the procedure can also improve the health of your eyes by correcting medical issues such as droopy eyelids (ptosis).
